Cuba Gooding Jr. -- House Buyer Showed Me Tons of Money ... As in $10 Million!!!

THIS is the kwan, Jerry ... Cuba Gooding Jr. just made at least SIX figures unloading his Pacific Palisades home -- and the buyer must love hockey because the crib includes a freakin' rink.

Gooding bought the contemporary English estate for $3.5 mil back in 2000 ... and sources tell us he just sold it for slightly under $10 mil!

Check out the pics ... The 7-bedroom home is equipped with a state-of-the-art theater, a 6-car garage and a basketball court/roller hockey rink in the back yard.

FUN FACT: Cuba's a huge ice hockey fan and plays in a lot of celebrity games. Odd ... "Snow Dogs" did NOT scare him off from all winter sports.
